We open on quite a party goin'on; there's loud music and smoking
and drinking and snorting a'plenty. A guy and a girl repair to
the kitchen where another guy busts open the door and shoots the
first guy right in the damn face. We're off and running kids,
we must be watching BURY ME AN ANGEL (1971). It's not your usual
biker revenge flick as it was written and directed by a woman.
Barbara Peters went on after this to direct 1980's HUMANOIDS FROM
THE DEEP for Corman and get pissed off when Roger inserted some
monster rape scenes without her permission.
After the opening credits we're back into it a year later. We
learn that the chick who witnessed the killin' was the victim's
sister, and her name is DAG BANDER. She's played by Dixie Lee
Peabody, I can't decide which name is cooler. (Dixie's sole other
credit is in 72's NIGHT CALL NURSES.) Dag has been tortured by
the vision of her bro's death ever since the killing, and she's
got revenge on her mind so she heads off on her brother's hog
with 2 goofball sidekicks for some payback on that sumbitch. Now
this being a biker movie they have plenty of superfluous adventures
along the way which include:
-Lots of obligatory shots of driving down the highway with bad
music playing.
-A not-to-be-missed encounter with a munchkin voiced cop "What
in the cornbread hell are y'all doin' here?"
-A bar fight featuring a tracheotomy patient dressed like an
old west prospector for some reason.
-Some welcome skinny dippin' followed by a Dag freak-out (she
freaks out a lot).
-An encounter with a pot smoking witch named OP (?) Who implores
Dag to give up her self-destructive quest in a bit of an Ollie
Stone type segment.
-A romantic tryst with Dan Haggerty as a sensitive art teacher,
followed by a freak-out(and ladies, is a quickie with Grizzly
Adams freak-out fuel or what??)
-Why, on Grizzly Adams, when Grizzly spoke with his Indian friend,
Grizzly used English while the Indian used Indian language? Couldn't
one of them pick a language and stick with it? This has nothing
to do with the movie, that's just always bugged me.
The freak-outs are the best part of the movie by the way. We
get to see Dag's brother get his face shot off at least a half-dozen
times, including once in a neato "magic-mirror" scene. So Dag
finally catches up with the guy and.....aw heck kids, there's
a shocking twist ending so I hate to give it away, but you should
see BURY ME AN ANGEL for a pretty-well made flick with a fine
performance by Ms. Peabody and for a feminine take on a classic
exploitation theme. Oh, alright, CLICK HERE
if you just wanna learn the ending.
